CHAPTER 7

As the inflatable boat gained some distance from the shore, I slowly made my way to the lake, and I was shocked at how the lake seems to slope. My first step the water was around my ankle, second step it was around my knees and at 4th step it was on my waist already.

I quickly swam as I see that the boat is already sinking. I think they punch a hole in it. That's why it was losing air fast.

"Please, don't move. I'm trying to help you." – I said as I reached the deflated boat. I swam doggy style to keep my head afloat as I assess the situation on how to effectively and securely remove the boulders tied to his feet. We are already at around 7 feet deep.

"Who are you?" I almost dropped the knife I was holding hearing this man's voice. even in the verge of death, he was composed and calm.

"Not important right now. I need to do a quick work with these weights before it sinks us both down" I replied. I expertly cut loose the weight on his ankles and made a quick and sharp cut in his hand ties.

"You're good with knife. I can feel your confidence while cutting surely" he said.

"I'm a medical students sir and I'm used to using knives." I nonchalantly replied.

I had him freed from his ties just in time for the boat to sink. I felt him wince when I tried to help him by holding his waist. Of course, they stab him. I can feel the hot blood oozing from his side. I thought as I remove his head covering.

Wow. This man is handsome. Aged, yes, but you can still see his handsomeness despite his wrinkles. Even the soft glow of the moon gives his face a justice. He has a soft face that can calm nerves and would definitely swoon someone effortlessly. If I would make a guess with his age, I would say around 50ish.

"Sir, you're bleeding. I have some first aid kit in the shore which I took from your assailant's car. Can you try and hold on until we reach shore so I can give you first aid?" I say.

"Very good, talking to your patient so not to lose him. You will be a very good doctor!" he countered, and I felt a sense of pride remembering my basics even in a real-world scenario, of course you need to talk to your patients so that they will not lose consciousness.

We swam back to shore or, more accurately I drag him back to shore because despite his calm voice and action, he started losing consciousness along the way.

"Sir, this might sting. Please bear with me" I said as I try to clean up and apply some pressure to his stab wound. I already assess his wound and its quite deep, but I think they missed a vital organ. If not, I wouldn't be talking with this person right now. he just nodded and painfully squeeze his eyes shut.

"Sir, I should call an ambulance" I told him after securing his wound and making sure his not loosing more blood or else he will die of hemorrhage while I fish the phone out of the first aid box.

"Lend me your phone" he spoke slowly fighting the urge of losing consciousness.

I gave him the phone as I watch him closely. Who he? Even after everything that happened, I didn't feel any fear with this man. His calm and composed manner even in danger fascinates me.

"It's me. I don't know where I am, but I am guessing somewhere far. I'll pass the phone to this kid. I'm losing consciousness" I heard him saying and shove  the phone back to me. I quickly took it and put the phone on my ears.

"Hello" I said

"Don't cut the call. We are tracking your location as we speak. Don't leave the boss we are sending someone as soon as possible" a strong, harsh and cold voice said from the other line.

"Yes sir" is all I could mutter

"What's your name?" he said

"Beam sir"

"Beam what?"

"Beam Baramee" I finished. I can hear a rustling on the other side and can hear hurried footsteps like they are in an office with a full work force. I faintly heard someone from the background on the other end saying We found them. That fast, huh? Who are these people?

"Beam, you are doing a good job. Wait until we retrieved you and the boss." He said.

I nodded and after feeling silly because of course the other person can't see me I said Yes verbally.

What have I gotten myself into now? I softly muttered with an unconscious person lying on my lap because at some point, he manages to lie comfortable in my lap before passing out. I closely monitor his heart beat and check his pulse from time to time and I'm quite confident his just sleeping.

A/N I am new to this and would really appreciate some comments and votes. I don't know if you like it the way I do so please do drop some comments. (just pretty please not so harsh?)

I was in a bit of a writing frenzy that why I was able to update until chapter 7 and I would really do my best to update regularly. Also, English is not my first language so please do expect errors all around the place but I promise to make as less as possible.

Anyways, as I mention earlier, I would really want to hear from you lot! Give me some love, people!

Lovelots! <3
